Skins

Skins and the supernatural

The skins can be roughly categorised into ones that are mundane with no supernatural powers; ambiguous skins where depending on the options you choose or the way you choose to interpret the skin you can see the skin as supernatural or instead as a metaphor for teenage life; finally you have the overtly supernatural skins where your moves lack any explanation beyond the supernatural. I think it is worth talking before the game starts as to whether you want a very explicit supernatural element to the game.

Buffy for example swiftly introduces the supernatural and things like the Hellmouth and magic are rapidly accepted as a normal part of life. Twin Peaks is much more ambiguous, flirting between supernatural explanations and an eccentric but dark normality.
